See Figure 3.32.
1. With truss on axle positioned as shown in Figure 3.32, fasten the lower reach
arms to brackets on axle with four 5/8” x 2" bolts and locknuts on each side.
2. Attach short crossmember loosely with two 5/8” x 2" bolts and locknuts,
sandwiching flat braces (B) between crossmember and frame bracket. Do
not tighten bolts until undercarriage is beneath tube assembly (Figure 3.34).
3. Secure the tubing crossbraces to welded lugs on lower reach arms with two
1/2” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts, plus a third one where the braces cross. Add
a tie tube between the bottom welded lugs. Use three 1/2” x 1-1/4” bolts and
two 1/2” x 1/3/4” bolts and 1/2” locknuts.
4. Attach the axle crossbraces with two 1/2” x 1-1/4” bolts and locknuts each.
5. Insert
axle extensions into axle and pin in place using a saddle pin and hair
pin.
6. Wheel hub assembly:
a. Remove any dirt from spindle and hub.
b. Thoroughly pack wheel bearings and cups with a good grade of bearing
grease.
c. Place large bearing into hub and carefully tap in seal.
d. Slip hub onto spindle and insert small bearing and washer.
e. Tighten slotted spindle nut until hub drags slightly. Back off nut about 1/4
turn until hub turns freely.
f. Install cotter pin and dust cap.
Note: Installing tires may not leave you with enough clearance to position and attach
undercarriage once auger tube is raised. If so, install wheels after assembly is
complete.
7. Inflate to recommendations on tire side wall. Wheels may be mounted on
hubs at this time using 6 wheel bolts. Finger tighten the wheel bolts and verify
that the wheel is sitting flush on the hub. Torque the wheel bolts to 80 ft-lb
(±10 ft-lb) of torque while using the appropriate criss-cross pattern; refer to
Appendix for specifications. If in doubt, have a qualified tire repair service
perform required maintenance.
8. Fasten upper lift arms to lower reach arms using two 15/16” spacer bushings,
flat washers, and 1" x 3-1/2” bolts and locknuts. Tighten securely; lift arms
pivot on the spacer bushings (Figure 3.33).
